was very special to receive in 2018 when I was starting my first venture and for that personal kindness I have a lot of respect for him 🙏 I know the future is bright for you and with you as our leader into AGI.
I am about to wear my prom dress as my wedding dress tmrw. Because every dress I found was $500+, made in China, a mix of fibers so not recyclable. I’ve worn this dress only 2x and it’s time for it to be worn the third time to make it even more special to me! Here’s me at 18! 🩵

I was 12 and tried to recall if I had eaten beets the day before but then asked my mom about it on the 3rd day thinking "I definitely do not eat this many beets"
I woke up thinking: I know that I want to live my life working on anything that will empower women around the world. every single business I try to start will / has been an attempt, in some way. Who else cares this much? Work, brainstorm with me, or RT this til I find my people.
I just want to build an education company where when we use the product we become smarter and better experts and we feel all the small wins so that we can reach big wins in our learning goals
This is kind of an awkward question but for those of us who look super young for our age, what do you do in a professional setting to counter that? (in terms of being taken seriously / not seeming silly) 😭
I am laughing a lot lately and there were days / weeks during the pandemic when I couldn’t remember the last time I had a laugh. Feeling grateful to be on a new chapter

happy bday katie! 🥳
my advice to my younger self:
1 - help others out with your skills more often than trying to create in a vacuum
2 - say yes and show up without overthinking something's value
3 - feel comfy enjoying life! (guilt is likely a byproduct of capitalism!)
Oh hay it’s your girl with the annual post encouraging the youths to apply to

! I'm so proud of what we've built as a team using GPT-3 over the past 2 years since it was released. We've made it possible to thematically analyze and understand unstructured qual feedback data. Here's the read:
i want it to be OK and GOOD for white men to champion diversity. GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO MENTOR women and minorities. let’s elevate the unrepresented. new tech + businesses come from those who observe differently than you do! 🌟
instead / the best part of traveling solo for me was in feeling amused by my own thoughts as i was placed in a new world. it’s like being in a video game you need to try. i don’t know how to condense it into an answer
the more i learn about people’s lives, the more i feel that spending time alone (and loving it) gives you a framework for life being worthwhile apart from externalities like relationships, work, etc. you know you can always retreat to it. it’s powerful in remaining level headed
*sees a technical opinion on twitter*
*types out a thought*
*doubts self knowledge*
*erases thought*
*notices how unnecessary discussing it is*
*deletes twitter*
Oh, I was hibernating when this happened- Interact catalyzed, in my early 20s, friendships that I can only imagine will be lifelong. The energy and optimism in this group is unparalleled. Please apply- and DM me if I can help! ❤️🙌🏼
If iMessage had an API layer to ingest texts into apps it would change what we could build- a reminder that startups are fully constrained to the dominating products by corporations we exist in
I met a Chinese art collector going to NY to bring back Warhols for a new museum in Beijing. We’re now at the duty free shop to buy 7 lipsticks for his daughter. We’re using a voice translate app to get my opinion on lipsticks
excited for
@Eaze_Team
to be focusing on education: making cannabis mainstream. 25% of opiate addicts are able to make the healthier switch. Removing the stigma, and understanding this as a public health crisis rather than a drug war is the way to move in the right direction.

’s genius is in creating stories in catchy songs that are so visual that you feel emotions while imagining it and it feels like experiences you’ve actually had in different periods of your life so you end up nostalgic for memories that you never really had
Super thrilled for

I met someone with synesthesia today who told me my words sound to him like the taste of salmon. I tasted salmon and am not fond of the taste of the sound of my voice.
ChatGPT is making me a better programmer. I frequently ask it questions that normally would feel a little too annoying to google. Here are some examples:
🧵
i wrote in my notepad last night (IN ALL CAPS) that i will be GLUTEN FREE starting today and then i woke up today, skipped down to the mill, bought a croissant and opened my notepad after demolishing it
I overheard one tech bro inform another tech bro about the devastating implications of buying fast fashion today and in that moment I couldn’t help but feel that tech bro culture has come a long way :’)
I really don't think you can start something completely new if you wouldn't be a user yourself. Thinking through my psychology as a user and documenting nuance when testing our product is hard to get from other users' feedback
People I respect most are incredibly responsive and timely, but this is hard. Here are some tips:
1— Be on your phone less, but respond immediately when you set aside the time to check your phone
2— Learn to say no kindly
Ultimately, these patterns teach you to be decisive.
Coding has become such a peaceful and enjoyable thing for me and I'm grateful for it. It's meditative and grounding when my mind can race otherwise. It wasn't always like this, but it's felt this way for me pretty consistently over the past few years.
Coding/designing/writing actually feels so creative that it relieves the daily stress and energy depletion I feel from communication and scheduling. What’s the resolve.
